plied, and his igloo often crowded. Interested in watching the man- 

 ners and customs of the place, and in listening to its traditions, he 

 seems to have been so much occupied in observing the new things 

 about him that he took but rough notes, intending at some future 

 time to write them out more fully. This time never came. 



The following are a few of the names of the Innuits here met with, 

 some of which found within Hall's full list will appear again on his 

 second visit to this place, as well as on their visits to the whalers in 

 the bay : Ook-pik (the Esliemuttd) and his wife, Kok-goot; Nuk-er-top- 

 hig and his wife, Shuk-too-in ; Ar-tung-un and his wife, Muk-e-iing; 

 Kia and his wife, Pou-de-lung-e-ute ; Ag-loo-ka; Man-ii-mit: and the four 

 boys, Now-yook, Ard-er-rook, Pow-der, and Amer-wer-rik. Hall counted 

 at one time forty-two women. While he was writing down his long 

 list, the natives looked on with wonder, and showed yet more surprise 

 . when he was able to read their names out of his book. Among those 

 around him he found some connections of Too-koo-li-too. 



The Ig-loo-lik people appeared to have frequent intercourse with 

 Too-noo-nee (Pond's Bay), from which place they obtained their 

 knives and other weapons. The journey to the bay, they said, could 

 be made, by rapid traveling, in four days. Ar-tung-un, who had 

 come over from Tern Island, remembered Parry and Lyon, both of 

 whom he said were very fond of little children. Lyon, he recollected, 

 had danced the little ones, and sung nursery rhymes to them. Ar- 

 tung-un himself could sing several songs learned from the sailors, and 

 could count in English. He said that he was once dead on board 

 Parry's ship, and was brought to life by Parry's an-ge-ko bleeding him, 

 and he showed Hall the scar on his arm made by the lancet. 



Wishing to be well posted in the ways of Ig-loo-lik an-ge-kos. Hall
